SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,767, dated July 8, 1884.

To all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. STARK, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Portable Siphon, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates specially to portable siphons for dispensing liquids of any kind not artiiicially charged in bottling; and the object oi' my invention is to produce a portable si phon for the packing,` and dispensing of liquids, which will not discharge from their own pressure, by the combination with the Siphon oi" a portable air-compressing device, whereby air may be forced into the siphon for the purpose of expelling and discharging the liquid therein contained. I accomplish this by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying` drawings, in whichf Figure l represents a perspective view of my improved siphon; Fig. 2, a vertical section of the Siphon-head, and Fig. 3 a horizontal scc tion oi' the Siphon-head on line X X.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in both views.

A is the body of the bottle' or the- Siphon. Shown here ot' glass.)

S represents the siphon-head- B is an air-compi-easing` device (shown here in the shape of a rubber bulb) connected to the siphon by means of the tube or pipe a, `which leads the compressed airl thereto.

V is a check-valve on the end of the ainpipe a, and t is the discharging-tube for the liquid constructed in the usual manner with its lower end reaching to the bottom of the bottle and its upper end connected by means of a suitable valve in the Siphon-head with the discharging-spout T.

My invention does not relate to any special construction of the Siphon-head, but is applicable to any kind of Siphon-head used.

understood. "When it is desired to expel liquid from the siphon, the air-compressing device B is operated, by means of Whichair is forced into the space in the Siphon around the discharging-tube t and over the surface of the liquid, the pressure of which air, when the valve in the Siphon-head is opened, forces the liquid out at the spout. By means of my invention I accomplish the discharge in their natural purity, .and Without the aid of carboni@ acid, of liquids-such as lager-beer, ales, and stillv mineral Waters-by means of pure air forced upon their surface, thereby discharging from hermetically-sealed portable vessels the beverages therein contained- I do not limit myself to the use of the airbulb B, (shown in the drawings) as any port- -able pattern of air compressing device is Aavailable to carry out the object or' my invention.

The tube c ,which 'brings the compressed air from the air-compressing device B into the siphon A, is shown attached to the siphoni head; but I propose to attach it when desirable i to a suitable special fitting on the upper part l oi' the Siphon A itself, so as to admit the air f in the same manner above the surface of the liquid, and accomplish the same result.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The combination, in a siphon, A, of asiphonhead, S, of any suitable pattern, and discharging-tube t-,irith a portable air-compressing decheclr-valve V, all substantially as described. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this th day of January, 1884.
